Easy enough for him to say but what about the linked interview about the Islamic visitor to the shooter's digs?

Only found on one posting but linked here.

For all we know, Nidal Malik Hasan may be a Buddhist or Christian or a Jew. ?

I guess now we know why Hasan was allowed to stay in the Army. To inquire about his religious beliefs would be wrong and might get the ACLU angry.

I fear for this country.

What if he was a devout Christian and had spent the morning of the killings giving out Bibles?

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

"speculation about the Muslim faith"

Who's speculating? There doesn't seem to any circumstantial evidence to refute the consensus position that Hasan was a devout Muslim in the Wahhabist branch.

Avoid speculation? Avoid freedom of thought more like it. I’ll think what I want you asshat, he’s a Muslim terrorist got it?

“He says focusing on the Islamic roots of the suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan , could “heighten the backlash” against all Muslims in the military.”

I have a great idea: Let’s start calling him “Smith” instead of Nidal Malik Hasan, like ABC News suggested.

To use his real name is racist and prejudiced.

Casey says diversity in the military “gives us strength.”

Really, Casey? How’s that workin’ out for the injured and for the families of the murdered at Ft. Hood?

It was a terrorist attack plain and simple, and policies like yours leave our brave fighting men vulnerable.

Top Ten reasons for gunning down dozens of your fellow soldiers while yelling "Allahu Akbar!"

10. You came from a broken home.

9. You just aren't in touch with your 'feminine side'.

8. You were underpriveleged as a child, and you are trying to compensate.

7. The section 8 papers were bogged down somewhere and you really, really, wanted to avoid deployment.

6. You were such a good quiet boy, good student, etc.,

5. You are really a kind, loving, sweet person, just misunderstood.

4. You were digging in your pocket for the bag of pork rinds and the gun went off by accident.

3. Video game flashback.

2. You wanted to avoid speculation about your faith.

1. You are a jihadi who regards your fellow troops as the 'enemy', and are just doing your bit for ol' Mo.

I am sure that word went down the chain of command promptly, after all, let’s kill the messengers. How many killings within the military have been initiated by members of this murderous sect? How many examples one, except the Kenyan in Charge, need before coming to the conclusion we have a fifth column in the military. During WW2, I cannot recall one story of a Japanese American or German American or Italian American killing his military brothers, can you?

So contrary to the commentary by the Kenyan in Chief, I don’t need more facts before “jumping” to a conclusion.

Speculation!?

How about just quoting Hasan’s own words as he began firing. We need not engage in speculation....quotation is quite sufficient to explain this monstrous act.

We will engage in sourced, quotation.

And let's ignore the role of the death cult when the next member of the death cult and the next and the next commits a terrorist act.

Here in Communist Massachusetts, a religion of peace member tried to shoot up a mall in Sudbury and kill some executives. His terrorist attempt did not succeed, but Major Hasan's certainly did.

Allah Akbar (the rock god is great)!

evidence to this point shows that Hasan acted alone.

Possibly the act itself, but there is not way the Terrorist did this without assistance. NO WAY!

He chose the weapon carefully and planned this out long in advance of the event.

This was not a fit of anger but a methodical calculated event.

Until the names of the victims were released, I kept telling myself that he target rank or someone he had done a psyc profile on and did not like. It does not appear that happened. It appears his actions were aimed at maximum number of casualties.

There have been statements that he "chose" his targets. There were a number of women among the casualties. Again the problem of attitude toward women by Islamic men.

Simply HE IS A TERRORIST!

Unacceptable, sir.

Unacceptable.

Order refused.

(Poor man, one can tell he is being told to walk out and parrot this party line from the Obama Administration and Pentagon they now control, and return back inside. How can he live with himself, with his daily receiving of military intelligence on this shooter. It is actually quite embarrassing.)

Imagine what message this sends to the troops RIGHT NOW IN THE FREAKING FIELD in Iraq and in Aghanistan under attack from Jihadist IEDs and other attacks as we speak. I guess those soldiers and marines should not get too hung up, sir, about those enemy combatants doing their acts out of blind faith in the Koran, just like jihadist Major Hasan. Even the jihadist seeking to defeat us on the battlefield are CHEERING Major Hasan on the internet today for his attack within the belly of the beast--as they put it--at Ft. Hood.

Mannnnnn, I hope Michael Savage or somebody Monday seizes this statement and tears somebody a well deserved new one.

I do know that on this continued politcally-correct, brain-dead trajectory, we are on course to lose both Iraq and Afghanistant, humiliated and defeated, with thousands dead and nothing to show for it.

What Gen. Casey might have said:
"Please, do not take the law into your own hands or jump to incorrect conclusions...we will get to the bottom of this situation wherever it may lead and fix the problem what it is!
His actual statement only exacerbated the problem. The morale of the military is already suffering from Obama's failure to decide on Afghanistan. Now its morale is being buffeted by its leadership's and the President's failure to appropriately address this terrorist attack.

Uh oh...I said terrorist attack. I should have said "domestic disturbance". /s

Agreed: Everyone please stop speculating about what is an obvious fact. Namely that the perpetrator was a Muslim in good standing, and viewed his terrorist attack as mandated by his faith.

According to The New York Times, investigators have tentatively concluded that Hasan was not part of a terrorist plot, but they have not ruled out the possibility that he believed he was carrying out an extremist suicide mission. Hasan’s family grapple motives

Citing unnamed officials, the newspaper said Sunday a search of Hasan?s computer indicated he had logged on to websites that celebrated radical Islamic ideologies and exchanged email with like-minded people, some possibly overseas.

In addition, investigators believe he may have written inflammatory Internet postings that justified suicide attacks, though that has not been concretely established, The Times said.

Late Friday, there were signs that Hasan’s condition was improving. Colonel John Rossi, deputy commander of Fort Hood, told reporters that while the suspect was still in an intensive care unit, “he is no longer on ventilator.”

There was no word, however, on whether he was able to answer investigators’ questions.
**************************************************
BUT he was a fine, upstanding, patriotic American and most assuredly NOT a freaking MUSLIM TERRORIST POS THAT DID NOT DESERVE TO WEAR THE UNIFORM, let alone counsel young, injured soldiers straight off the battlefield.
DAMN IT!!!

Army chief: Avoid speculation about Hasan's faith

Orders ? from the MIC (Muzzie in chief)

Absolutely spitting on the soldiers who lost their lives in an act of JIHARDIST TERRORISM.

They died because they were 'infidels' - in a fanatic, jihardist suicide attempt by a Cretin who jumped up on a table, yelled "Allah Akbar" and opened fire. And we're not supposed to mind.

And if it had been a soldier or a civilian who had killed or wounded a muslim??? Or even said a derogatory word to a muslim? Oh, the HORROR - and the whole country would be in a retraining lockdown.

Here, at least, is a correct headline and account:

"‘Devout Muslim’ Psychiatrist Massacred 13 US Soldiers"

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/134277

"psychiatrist and a U.S. army officer who screamed, “Allah Akbar” (Arabic for Allah is the Greatest) before he fired."

and other FOREIGN papers, like in the UK and Canada call it for what it is.

This is disgusting. This muzzie loving TIC (T=traitor) is spitting on the graves of these soldiers. Please, God, give him what he has coming.

Hey, MIC, the whole damn world knows what it was. Who the he*l do you think you're fooling?

I suspicion you KNOW you're fooling no one - but you'd be in trouble with your real spiritual companions if you named it for what it is?

17 out of 18 families of the returning war HEROES at Dover did NOT want this MIC there...yet he forced his way in for a photo shoot.

I'd like to see the families of these soldiers make a loud protest over his planned butting in at the Memorial Services. Serving military cannot openingly protest - but the families could. But if they did, would the press ever let us know?

Dear God, stop these traitors.

And now he'smaking his FIRST trip to Walter Reed? Some information to get buried there regarding the reason the Cretin was transferred out of there, according to reports. Cover up. Scrub. The one area the MIC is well experienced.
